To ask you for help with first date outfit ideas??

[Nopassionforfashion]

Hi ladies. I'm having a fashion crisis. First date next week, going for coffee and walk round a nice park. What do I wear??

I've put on a lot of weight during lockdown so have avoided fashion, and now I'm stuck. I'm early 30s and quite tall (so not mad on wearing heels until I know the guy is as tall as he claims!)

Have you got a midi shirt dress that you could wear with converse type trainers?

Really hard to advise someone on what to wear when you don't know their style lol.

However, if its a casual day date and you're going for a walk, I think you can get away with dressing down and being comfortable

I mean depends if you’re bothered about pleasing him or yourself. Men often like dresses and skirts so you could opt for a jumper dress with thick tights or a skirt and jumper with thick tights. You may feel happier in jeans and a jumper, nice coat and ankle boots. You’ll have to go thin layers though otherwise it’ll make you look bulky. You’ll prob have to wear a coat though. Something with a belt might be helpful to give you a better silhouette

Jeans and trainers or boots. Good luck.

Midi dress, chunky statement boots and a statement coat.

I’d say nothing too high fashion. Dress and tights or jeans and jumper seem good. Shoes you can walk in.

Jeans and a jumper with ankle boots plus coat is just fine in November. Or a dress, thick tights and boots perhaps. Don't overthink it

What skin tone / hair colour / build are you? That'll change to colours / style I'd suggest!

I'm 6"1 and definitely on the plus side. V.Pale and dark haired. For a date like that, I'd wear an autumn dress (something either dark with a floral pattern, or deep jewel tone) with tights if it was colder and flat knee high boots. Teamed with either a cute leather jacket or a longline camel style coat. It emphasises my favourite part - legs!

Or swap for a slightly oversized cute jumper and dark jeans / leggings and some flat shoes and a cute camel coat.

statement boots and a statement coat
This always makes me laugh Statement everything. I just have boots and coats . No idea if they are 'statement' enough

OP what's your style like what do you usually wear?

Thanks everyone, some great tips! My go-to would have been dress, tights and ankle boots but I've put on 3 stone so my legs feel enormous at the moment. I have been thinking about a statement coat though, the weather is getting so cold up here now that I think a leather jacket might be a bit too light.

I'm pale with blonde/brown hair for those that asked
